Calculation and uncertainty

Source: 4,383 deaths through 2026-09-14 (197 days); 21 unreported days projected.

Observed deaths / observed calendar days × unreported days, added to the source count. Scenario range assumes zero to twice that daily rate during the gap; not a statistical confidence interval. Low confidence: reporting delays, changing violence and undercounting can put reality outside this range.

Estimates stay separate from reported totals and are recalculated only when the newsroom updates this page. They are not additional deaths and must not be added to the counter or civilian/child figures.
